We have come a long way since Chris Matthews told us his leg was "tingling" when he listened to Barack Obama. Well, sure, the liberal punditocracy is still playing defense for Obama -- insisting he is not really all that liberal (as the New York Times did last week) or trying to convince us that he was actually wise not to break with Reverend Wright (as the New Republic did). But more and more you see the MSM sharing tidbits of information that show him to be less than the Gandhi-like figure he originally was made out to be.
...Obama blew his chance at snatching John Edwards's endorsement by sheer arrogance.
Newsweek's largely biographical cover story did a little digging and found that his personal life stories as told by Obama are frequently contrived, and not entirely accurate...
The Washington Post follows up with an examination of his oft-told tale that the Kennedy family helped bring his African father to America where he met Barack's mother, concluding "the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified."
IN SHORT, OBAMA is short on authenticity and long on imagination, putting him in the same league with Internet inventor Al Gore or Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton. It's possible that the Illinois senator lacks the ability to tell the difference any longer.
These are distinct signs Obama's media free ride is coming to an end...
First, there may be some guilty recognition that the media fan club overplayed their hand...
The second factor may be the media's own reaction to the Wright episode. These overwhelmingly liberal reporters were the cheerleaders...

I’ll second the motion.
The difference is that Obama is even more dangerous.
They're all liars. It comes with the territory.
“Well, sure, the liberal punditocracy is still playing defense for Obama — insisting he is not really all that liberal...”

I heard Bob Beckel on Fox say today that it is the Repubs that are trying to frame him as a liberal -— God help us, this closet muslim is so far to the left, he makes the rest of the Dems seem conservative. Who is trying to put this LIE on us, anyway?? Obama not a flaming, RADICAL leftist socialist??? Give us a break. He is so anti-Constitution, anti-American, anti-military, anti-war, anti-gun, radical pro-abortion, pro-socialist medicine, and pro-socialist EVERYTHING that the government could possibly touch -—— arrghghh.
Saying Obama is not an extreme liberal, is like saying the Clintons are honest, law-abiding people.
The part being left out that he had a wife back home.
The old man was a bum, a polygamist and a drunk.
Incontinence is no laughing matter.
A liberal by any other name stinks just as bad.
Exactly. I pegged Obama way back as a charlatan, same as I pegged Bill Clinton back in late 1991, into 1992. The so-called MSM did the same thing to America in 1992 as it is trying to do in 2008 - foist a dangerously incompetent democrat party politician on us. This time, however, we can all give thanks to AlGore for inventing the Internet, without which we would have no alternative sources to debunk the lies.
Barack Half-n-Half Obama = Half-black, half-white, half-wit with half-assed ideas.
The Obomination is a liar - plain and simple for SELF GAIN.

Exactly. And Obama is REAL dangerous. Not only is he incompetent, and TOTALLY unqualified to be Pres and C-in-C, but his blant anti-Americanism makes him a total danger to every American citizen. And Hitlery is not much different in reality. They are both Marxists and POWER MAD. It is all they really care about.
How long has it been since we have heard a DemoRat actually debate on REAL ISSUES?? That says it all. Power and Marxism — their only care.
When and if the exploration of the Obama ties to the Chicago machine become clear the golden boy will look less like the 2nd coming.
You don't get anywhere in Chi town without playing in the dirt.
The radical racist Muslim will lose worse than Mondale.
Obama wasn’t a law professor, either.
He was just a lowly “guest lecturer”.
My 1st post was deleted because I uttered the word
” Hussein “ ?
Or was it this PROPER definition:
merriam-webster;
Etymology: Spanish mulato, from mulo mule, from Latin mulus
Date: 1593
1 : the first-generation offspring of a black person and a white person
2 : a person of mixed white and black ancestry

Here’s the New York Magazine piece referenced in the piece by Rubin- good reading...Obama is not winning John or Elizabeth Edwards support anytime soon. It does seem odd to me that Gore has kept quiet- and Jimmuh said he’s keeping mum as well..
The Left-Wing Media was in the tank for Obama, now they are seeing his flaws and that he is unelectable for POTUS, mainstream America just will not vote for him according to the polls.
His negitives are about 40-45%.
The story now is a simple one. It is not if Uncle Jeremiah will continue to hurt him. The story is how long can Obama keep him bound and gagged. Wright’s Houston appearance was cancelled not because of fear for Wright’s security, but the Obama campaign’s concern for what it might do to their candidate. The political spin is saying one thing, the fact that Uncle Jeremiah has not offered a public breath let alone public words since the DVD’s became public speak volumes. Obama is trying to ride out two clocks. The delegate clock to the nomination and the clock to the time when Uncle Jeremiah appears in public and apologizes for NOTHING. Obama is hoping that when his Uncle does speak it will be after the Witch has cried Uncle instead of Uncle Jeremiah.
